In 1976, CBS gave actor Telly Savalas a variety show. Only in the 1970s could a Savalas dramatic reading of the Bread song “If,” complete with an image of a model’s head staring at him, make it to prime time network television. Who loves ya baby!
Here is IMDb:
At the height of his KOJAK TV series fame, Savalas stars in this variety special that was sponsored by Kraft Foods and shown without commercial interruption – Barbara Eden, Cloris Leachman and others appear and join in the singing and dancing and mugging. Savalas had even recorded an album also titled “Who Loves Ya Baby?”.
